Removing a vRealize Automation Appliance from a
Cluster
In some cases, you might need to remove a vRealize Automation appliance in the course of maintaining
your environment.
vRealize Automation does not include an interface for removing an appliance node from an existing
cluster. To remove a vRealize Automation appliance, follow the guidelines in VMware Knowledge Base
article 2149866.
Licensing vRealize Code Stream
A vRealize Automation license can enable vRealize Code Stream for your vRealize Automation
environments.
The vRealize Automation license unlocks vRealize Code Stream so that you can use it with the
vRealize Code Stream Management Pack for IT DevOps. Enable vRealize Code Stream on the Licensing
page, in either the vRealize Automation management interface or the Installation Wizard.
After enabling the option, you must also install the vRealize Code Stream Management Pack for IT
DevOps. You install the management pack on a separate and dedicated appliance that has
vRealize Automation and vRealize Code Stream enabled in non high-availability (HA) mode. Download
the management pack and installation documentation from MyVMware.
n
Do not enable vRealize Code Stream on production vRealize Automation deployments. The
additional load can reduce performance.
n
Do not enable vRealize Code Stream on high-availability vRealize Automation deployments. vRealize
Code Stream might cause high-availability deployments to behave unpredictably.
For more information, see the vRealize Code Stream Reference Architecture Guide.
Installing the vRealize Log Insight Agent on IaaS Servers
The Windows servers in a vRealize Automation IaaS configuration do not include the vRealize Log Insight
agent by default.
vRealize Log Insight provides log aggregation and indexing, and can collect, import, and analyze logs to
expose system problems. If you want to capture and analyze logs from IaaS servers by using
vRealize Log Insight, you must separately install the vRealize Log Insight agent for Windows.
For more information, see the VMware vRealize Log Insight Agent Administration Guide.
vRealize Automation appliances include the vRealize Log Insight agent by default.
